I have a question about a very specific feature that is only found in certain dialects of Spanish. As far as I know, this feature is only used in dialects spoken around the Caribbean. I am not sure whether any linguists have written about this topic, but I am curious enough to design a very small pilot study about this feature. Will you please help me?

My question has to do with the -ico diminutive ending in Spanish. For example, in some dialects of Spanish "momentico" can be used to mean "a short moment". (Other dialects of Spanish would say "momentito".) If your dialect does not use "-ico" or "-ica" at all to make words, please don't answer this question.

I am curious to find out how the -ico ending combines with some words, but not others. Of the words in the following list, please tell me which words sound okay and not okay to you, and please tell me where you are from.
momentico
mesica
gatico
gotica
taquico
lorico
carica
torico

Some days,
I look to the sky.
And I ask why,
Why can't I find her.

In my dreams,
I see her smile.
And I would walk a mile,
To find that smile.

And when I close my eyes,
I can see her.
Though a blur,
I know she is the one.

One thing I know,
Find her I might not.
And thoughI dream a lot,
I still search, day after day.

For example, I always thought toilet paper hung in overhand fashion was the way to do it but according to The Simpsons, that's wrong!


Questions and answers welcome!

Will I have to get naked for club or intermural sports?
Or what about getting to the shower. I am nervous because I have never been naked in front of anyone before.

It's disgusting. And then what? They take it home, throw it in the wash with other garments and you have your boogers floating and catching on everywhere. Use a tissue and throw it away. Also, if you've used it, you can't offer it to some damsel in distress. She don't want no boogie in the eye.

I feel like such a loser cuz no one loves me-even my parents, i'm not very intelligent or talented, i have friends who are shallow and don't particularly care give a damn about me, i don't have a bf even tho i'm really attractive and really fun to be with and worst of all i ever wanted to do since childhood was be a model and it turns out i'm not tall enough. I feel so **** about myself and dunno why the hell my life is this way even tho i'm such a nice person who has never hurt anyone intentionally. I've come to a point where i wish i never existed in the first place. Anyone else feels this worthless ever???
Why the hell is God letting this happen to me??? Even when he knows that it hurts so bad???

On occasion I'll have a strange dream of me doing something ordinary (even if I don't ordinarilly do it) but when I wake up I'll forget all about it. Then - Deja Vu - I end up doing what ever was in the dream and it'll come back to me.

Ex 1: My family recently got a treadmill, but my dad wheeled it through the mud. I started to help him clean the wheels and it hit me. I dreamed about doing this last night before I even knew we were getting a treadmill!

Ex 2: I had a dream about me and my friend but the part that really stuck out was a pair of shoes outside my grandma's house right before my dad came out through the door. Not a month later and my dad bought the exact same pair of shoes!

Does anyone else have weird dreams like these?

Think...


The lads and the lasses have a competition...

the guys offer economy car wash, but with sparly clean cars...


The girls offer bikini car wash for 5 times the price, chuck in some extra and some may go topless... the car is not cleaned that well...


Who will make the most money and then some?

And thats why its not degrading or immoral

The guys got the phisical strenght, the girls have something more powerful sex appeal and when they are in control (not a pimp trafficer etc) they can rake it in and have fun in the process with a fraction of the effort...


Degrading? washhing dishing and horrible boring work...


Or dancing to your favouite songs with all the atmosphere just minus underware...


Why is life so unfair the girls get these jobs along with alll the wet t shirt and jelly wrestling competitions for all the free trips, bar tabs cash etc.


Then Quadruple their pulling chances that night.

How can that be immoral or degrading?...
